The Lunch Time Leaders
- Chris, Alvee, Steve, and Pat
Dear Mrs. Kaufmann,
We would like to invite you to be on our Lunch Time Leaders Podcast that we do as part of our Social Studies class at Moran Middle School in Wallingford, CT. We interview leaders in our community and beyond to talk about the challenges of being successfully prepared for the 21st Century. We would like to educate our school and ourselves on how "green" houses are beneficial to the world. We also want to hear your take on how children should be prepared for the 21st century and its challenges. We would like to do the interview on the 3rd of November, 2010 at 10:00 a.m PST. The interviews are usually approximately 15 minutes long. The interview would require us to have us call you on your phone in order for our system to record it, do it with Skype if you have that capability, or doing it live in our school is also an option. You can view our website and see examples of our other interviews on our podcast website, http://lunchtimeleaders.podbean.com. A list of the questions that would be asked are below. If any major changes are made we will send them to you at least a week before the interview.
We look forward to hearing from you,
-Chris, Alvee, Steve, and Pat
Here are some of the questions that we will be asking you throughout the course of our interview.
What skills/abilities do you feel students need to have to be successful in the 21st century as employees?
Looking at the people you currently see entering the workforce, what are their strengths and what are their weaknesses?
What are your thoughts regarding how much we should focus on learning facts versus focusing on students’ ability to learn/adapt/grow?
There is also a lot of discussion in education on the tension between being successful as an individual and being successful as part of a group or team. We’d like to hear more about your thoughts regarding this.
Tell us a little bit about any changes you foresee for the workplace in the next 5-15 years (and beyond). What do you think this means for students currently in high school and for K-12 education in general?
What types of technologies should our students be proficient at using?
What was the best learning/educational experience you have had? Why?
If you were going to design a 21st century school from the ground up, what key features you would include? These features could be physical, pedagogical , structural, and technological.
When we're done today, what's the one most important "take-away" message you'd like our teachers and students to hear?
